• Facilitate workshops, assessments, and strategy engagements with clients.
• Collaborate with product owners, engineering teams, and vendors to ensure robust delivery.
• Support pre-sales activities, including proposals and technical strategy development.
• Serve as the technical lead during complex projects, resolving issues and ensuring successful delivery.

What You Will Bring

• A customer-centric approach with the ability to empathize and craft solutions that enhance customer experience.
• Knowledge of architectural skills such as modern solution design, target operating models, estimation, planning, and governance, preferably in Agile environments.
• Experience with insurance domains like Commercial Lines, London Markets, Reinsurance, or Underwriting.
• Extensive experience in architecting insurance solutions using Guidewire (PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter, BillingCenter) or Verisk (ISO, Sequel Suite, Risk Analyzer).
• A strong consulting background with client engagement experience in fast-paced, outcome-focused settings.
• Deep understanding of insurance processes and aligning technology with business priorities.
• Proven leadership in architecture design from conception to implementation.
• Knowledge of integration patterns, APIs, data architecture, and vendor ecosystems.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with experience engaging senior leaders.
• An interest in emerging insurance market trends to identify future technological needs.
• Experience leading workshops, presenting to stakeholders, and influencing senior business and IT leaders.
• Exposure to architecture governance processes and promoting design standards.

Nice to Have
